Regarding Lake Kindred... Will we ever get detailed descriptions of Kins' abilities?

For instance, I'd love to actually be able to read about the damage ratio, accuracy rate, and status-inflicting chance in the detailed profiles of my kindred.

Kin may eventually get more detailed descriptions to their abilities, for now though, it’s up to the imagination!

Another Lake Kindred question:

Will Filligris and Carnelion ever see any kind of buffs to their level rewards? The majority of their drops are potions, and it's really disappointing to see that in a 1499GC kin, especially when previous kin have had much more varied drops.

At this moment Filligris and Carnelion will not have any buffs to their level rewards, this could change in the future however.

Can the numbers by the sides of the items be changed to black with a white outline or something similarly more readable? For some of the darker potion bottles, it's very hard to read the number once you've gotten to double digits.

Can we have an update for Sycamorte and Phantom Sycamorte's drops so that players are more enticed to fight them? Especially Phantom Sycamorte, he's been rather neglected since have over 2x the HP makes him not worth fighting. I even have some ideas in the Site Feedback thread I made here, in case you haven't seen it already. We need to get people playing again, and the Sycamorte Nerf has driven them away.


There may be changes to these drops in the future!
Likely after the event however.

Did you guys mean to have sellbacks on LK potions?
(And when do we get our needed goldsink event? xD)


The sellbacks were unintentional and should be disabled as of now. biggrin


I saw posts from staff yesterday that said sellbacks WERE intentional...
i am very confused ;_;


emotion_facepalm I actually just realized that I'm a space cadet. I wasn't aware that they were intentional, but they actually were at launch. My apologies! I was under the impression that sellbacks were not a thing that could exist on those types of items, aertfyhwsedrftghjhgfdfghasg

We did mean to have sellbacks on LK potions, however there was an issue with it so they were taken off.

Could the Bosses on Fafnir's Peak have a different Loot Table than the rest of the foes? Especially the ones on Stage 5, given how difficult they can be to take out, even with my Cinder (especially Sandman Rose, given that she can put foes to sleep and fully heal herself). Maybe have Snowflake Charms as a common drop from them, and for Sandman Rose and (eventually) Fafnir a small chance to drop their own Eggs, similar to Sakura and Spirited Ember?


I will look into having higher drops for the bosses, however there are already a ton of valuable items available in that area. C:

In Lake Kindred we always get new areas during events. Can we get new areas when there isn't an event going on? Reason being, event kins are limited and events are pretty spaced out. It gets boring when we are waiting for a new event, that and waiting for events to get new in-game kin sucks.


This is a possibility! But it does take a lot of time and resources to round up all of those kin and discover those new locations.

When will the Level Cap on our Kin be raised? Last time this question got a response you said "in the near future", but it's been over a month since then. I'm sure we'd love to do something with our Lv50 Kin besides smack trees all day, not to mention have a renewed sense of progression.


This is possible, but at the moment we don't have it planned out. There will be an indication of it when it happens though!

Are the [animal]-versions of the Kindred Sandseed, Kindred Sandbloom and Kindred Sandman Rose supposed to only contain the poses with the kin itself in them instead of the clothing ones?

And if they are, would there be any chance to add the clothing, hair and face mod poses to the items too, or just fix them if they are glitched?


The paw versions of Sandseed and it's evolutions are only meant to contain the poses with kin.
It may be possible in the future that a few of the other poses are added, but at the moment it is not.

Can the Splicing Level requirement be lowered from Level 25 to Level 15? There have been numerous complaints about needing to get not just one, but two Kin to Level 25 in order to Splice, which can take a long time. Throw in the lack of motivation most of us have as a result of the heavy grind past Lv15, let alone Lv20, and being able to Splice is something not many gaians can do. This directly impacts you guys as well, because that means less players who want to buy Splicing Shards from the CS, meaning another way the game can garner revenue is heavily lessened. 15 is the "Goldilocks Level" in my honest opinion because it still takes effort to reach naturally, but isn't so far away that the high wall deters players. Most Kin also evolve at Lv15, making it more fitting that they're strong enough to Splice at that point. It would go a long way towards getting more people playing (and thus spending) again, as the way it is now is similar to how Alchemy was at the start. That took years to become feasible to everyone. I'd rather LK not suffer the same fate, as it has so much potential.


This is something that we are discussing, and I agree with these issues!
We are working on implementing something soon. C:

Could the miss rates for kins like the Spirited Ember be lowered? The Spirited Ember has a pretty high miss rate for a $15 kin and it's very frustrating. We can't even see the miss rate in the description of an attack, or know the power of any particular skill. The guess and check of something so simple is exasperating, especially since most games will give us this kind of basic information up front.


The miss rates for all kin are actually incredibly similar! There isn't much difference. But we will look into perhaps adjusting this. C:

Games / Shops

Regarding the in-game shop in Lake Kindred, is there any chance the potion prices will be re-adjusted
to a bit lower in the near future?
Inflation for almost all the potions has skyrocketed since the in-game shop was released, and I
in particular am afraid that services like my Starter Kit thread may no longer be possible with such
high prices on the potions cat_emo
I do hope the high prices can be reconsidered, as I've noticed easy access to potions such as Antidotes,
Refreshes, Small Heals, and Stamina Ups helps a lot of newer users get in to and excited about the
game early on. I understand the more powerful and rare potions being more expensive, but the more
common and less-powerful potions being cheap & plentiful seems really necessary from my perspective.


The prices in the marketplace fluctuated for the day because the sellback was enabled, so the value for them went up. However now they should start to deflate in price again. C:

At the time of writing this, Lake Kindred is little more than repeatedly pressing a button over and over to achieve either a win or a fail. is there any plans to add more diversity to it? Even the splicing system, still entails that we are just pressing buttons to either win or fail, and have put enough time into two kindred for them to splice. At this point there is no substance to the gameplay, and I see little point in playing a game that is all outcome and no substance between start and finish.

With the sellback removed from the Potions, will the absurdly high prices for potions in the LK shop be reduced? It's not going to work as a Gold sink at those high prices for single potions. I don't use the LK Shop myself as a result. As not everyone can farm Sycamorte, the potions should be possible to buy with funds naturally accumulated through gameplay.


The prices likely will not be reduced. They are set at these prices for a reason. Sorry.

Would it be possible to make the MP bars of the opponent Kin visible? One of my complaints with Wither is that due to the MP bar being invisible, there's no visual feedback letting us know Wither's actually working (aside from floating text, which isn't as helpful due to not knowing exactly how much MP the enemy has in the first place), so having it be seen (especially since Sycamorte's "Floating Text" pops above him where we can't see it) would help greatly.

Auriga La Shock
Games: Lake Kindred
So I've been playing Lake Kindred quite a bit lately and something has come to my attention. I can't remember if this has been answered or not, so apologies. What's with the pricing of the potions in the store? Many of the potions, especially the lower grade ones, are fairly common drops in the game. However, the pricing is outrageous for them in the store. The cheapest one is for a Singe and that's 170m just for a ten point attack potion that you can only use once! The prices are unrealistic and not worth it to buy. There is also an issue with the potions you can only buy with Gaia Cash. Why does an Ally plus 50% cost 99 GC and the Ally plus 100% cost 249 GC? Two ally plus 50% potions equate to a 100%, so shouldn't the 100% cost only about 200 GC? At this point, it makes sense to just buy two ally 50% potions and save about 50 GC. Likewise for the Skill Plus potions.


The potions are priced this way for a reason and the price will likely not change.

Is there any other way then the outrageously priced Opal Ticket to try to suggest kin? For a common user, that ticket (and I suppose most others) are simply out of reach. I have so many ideas, and would love to at least get them out there. (I love designing things sweatdrop


For suggesting ideas and themes to help inspire future Kin, you can always feel free to post ideas in the Lake Kindred forum! We definitely try to keep tabs on what kinds of great ideas everyone's coming up with. biggrin


Thank you, I might just do that!
However, some of my designs are rather specific. Would providing images affect the chances of getting noticed?
I also have many other ideas, for clothing items. I do understand you probably get somewhat bombarded with them, but I would love to let you see them. However, I am somewhat... protective of some of them, and would rather submit them to the mods in secrecy. Is this in any way or form possible without tickets? I don't really need any credit, just seeing them here would be enough for me.


Apologies-- for requests of highly specific items / Kin to be made, you would need to use a Ticket! For general ideas, or requests for certain colors, themes, etc. posting would be sufficient.

Edit for clarity: Regardless of how your ideas are presented, we would not be obligated to create your item designs unless you used a Ticket. Feel free to post your specific ideas in threads, but it's not likely an artist would use those, because using specific designs would be unfair to those who quested a Ticket.

Items

Some months ago, there were items introduced at the Zen Temple during last Summer's event there. Afteer a few months those items were still there after we were told they would be removed. Apparently some of them have a 'store value' on them and yet have no sellback button on them.

For example, I have 16 Kitsune's Sister items that have store value of 100K. Yet it has no sellback button. I cannot sell them in the mp either cause not many people want it. It's not fair to have to keep these and have clutter up our inventory. Needless to say, I have not gone back the Temple for fear of getting more of this item and the long list other items for the same reasons (items of the event that were supposed to have been removed).

Any chance something will be done with this situation sometime soon? This is really getting very irritating. I am not willing to simply trash them either. It's not fair to be forced to trash them just to be rid of them. And not fair to be forced to have them clutter our inventories en masse.

We've removed the drops and replaced them with CIs, we'll take a look into adding sell back for these items.

also will you ever make the CI's have a gold choice on them again instead if it always being an item ( you changed it when the holiday event was over and took all the gold options out of the CI's that dropped)


I don't believe we will be enabling the gold choice on CIs. Sorry about that. :C

Would u guys adding the elusive kin opal and recolor seals as incredibly rare drop in lake kindred?

you could make the rate similar to sakura and ember egg drop rates i hear those are mythical rare


We won't be considering this, sorry. :C

Yes, similarly to User Items, you need to have consent from the creator to recolor their kin.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I can't find any answers in the forums about it so here I am. Every time I lose a battle in Lake Kindred I also lose stamina and a lot of it. Is that normal because no where does it say so?

With the recent release of gold gens in exchange for real money, a lot of users who play Lake Kindred were unhappy to hear the gold gen option was removed from the RIGs at the same time Gaia started releasing said gold gens in the cash shop.

I propose (if it's easy or even possible), that these rig options be re-implemented but at lower payouts. Maybe max at 1 mil and the lowest being a few hundred thousand. It would make earning gold in Lake Kindred more feasible but not so much you get 100 bil plus.

It just feels unfair at the current time because of how much the costs of the item drops have gone and the fact winning certain levels in Lake Kindred only give out 20,000 G or less.


There will be no gold gens or RIGs with a gold option available added into Kindred anytime soon.

Okay, so I know that the Fafnir's Peak Kin (Vulcarus, Flyvern, and Rosepea) had their drops adjusted
after the Winter Event ended - however, they still have ridiculously frequent egg drops, and while this
sounds nice on paper for new players who might have missed the event - it's causing a literal infestation
on the site! (If you search the marketplace for items by "most listings," today, Vulcarus is currently #5,
and at one point Rosepea was only second to Heart Charms) Plus, it doesn't really make sense to leave
event Kin in the game, seeing as the Halloween Kin no longer drop their eggs.
So, in short, can the Fafnir's Peak Kin have their egg drops regulated again, or perhaps removed entirely?
I don't really think anyone is going to miss out. I have about 600 Rosepeas to give away and I'm not even
exaggerating cat_burning_eyes


We will look into lowering the drop rate of these kin in Zen Gardens. c:

Another Lake Kindred suggestion.

Upping the amount of gold per win in battle. 20,000G (or less) can barely get you anything and I feel it would attract more traffic to up this amount even to 100,000 G per win.

Or half that, but something more substantional to the players who dedicate a lot of time to Lake Kindred but can't drop real money to buy potions and new kins. Not everyone can afford the Sycamorte killer kins.


We may look into increasing gold payouts in the future, but not for kin like Sycamorte.

We didn't have any intentions to put in a volume control in the game because we figured that one could use the volume control on their own computer.


The reason i ask is because i like to listen to music while i play, and not having a volume control on the game makes it so that i either have to not listen to music or use the lite version.

Is there a way for people to purchase the In-Game Store kins/CIs without having to use Lake Kindred? Some people do not want to be saddled by soulbound kin when they need to enter the game just to purchase those items. Some people are not interested in playing LK and want to keep their inventories clear of soulbound items, but may want to buy their friends kins for one reason or another. This could pose an impediment to potential purchases. Maybe you could just make those items available in La Victoria like they used to?

I had an idea that might be helpful, at least in terms of Skills. Would it be possible to add another page in the Kin Menu In-Game that lists the Skills a Kin has, probably between Stats and Splicing?

Things like: Giving Kin nicknames, Rearranging Kin within the game, a possible rebalancing of stats for Kin...

Hello! We are working on quite a few things at the moment, but:

Is there anything in the works for using up 'excess' skill points aside from using them to evolve kin? I'm sure I'm not the only one with well over double or even triple the 'max' number of skill points.
For example, if there was something like the ability to purchase one hour stat boosts for around 1k per kin through the in game store. Personally I'd love a feature like this, as it would allow users to play kin they like without them having to be super over leveled if they've got weaker stats, or attacks.


This sounds like it would be cool, but I'm not sure if it's possible in the future.

Question Category: Features (Lake Kindred/Project Custom)

Hello lovely Staff~
My question pertains to the Kindred Capture Seal. Many members of the LK community have a strong dislike for this seal due to its exclusivity of the created user Kin (25 copies ONLY, not 25 to the submitter + 1000 copies LQI CS release as with the Rainbow Seal), depriving many collectors and lovers of the Kin that this seal had recolored a chance to truly enjoy them, as well as making it very difficult for LK guide creators and helpers from providing the most accurate information to other LK players.

Several of us have been wondering if maybe the rules on this seal could possibly be changed to allow for an eventual public release for these Kin - whether through a RIG or a LQI CS release - after a period of 6 months to a year (similar as to how some recolored dolls now have a 6-month wait before being released into a RIG under the new Project Custom rules).

It could raise the moral and happiness of the LK community that are on long (and maybe impossible) quests for these rare Kin, as well as ease the hatred of this seal by the community at large. Please make this a consideration? Thank you very much!

We have not released a Kindred Capture Seal in quite a while, nor do we intend to regularly release these. The Rainbow Seal is out go-to Lake Kindred design opportunity to share with everyone, and Kin created with the Rainbow Seal are released to La Victoire!

I'm not entirely sure what areas this is referring to, but I've been watching the LK forum for new threads concerning these RIGs and some of my guild-mates and I in the Kingdom of Kindred have been searching various areas for the new RIGs and, in spite of that, we haven't been able to find anything but what was already there. No new RIGs. (Piopio, however, truly has disappeared.) Has this change been implemented yet and, if so, could we please know which RIGs were added or to which areas they were added?

Thanks so much!

(If I'm just obliviously missing something, I apologize for the unnecessary question! Please feel free to ignore me in that case.)


Hello! The RIGs added were not 'new' RIGs, but RIGs that had been taken out of the Bunny Planet area at the beginning of the event. They were added back into the area. c:

In the department of Lake Kindred...
Is the nicknaming system still in the works?
I asked a few months back and was told it was being worked on, just seeing if there's still a possibility.


Hello!
Yes, it is currently in the works!!

So, something not covered in any of the Project Custom ticket rules (or at least the Quartz Stub rules specifically) I think is Sponsor Items. Are these items allowed to be recolored with a Rainbow/Double Rainbow Ticket or a Quartz Stub?

I'm looking more towards using a Quartz Stub on a sponsor item hair (thereby removing it from the rest of the set items), but wasn't sure where exactly this fell in the rules of any Project Custom rules.


Hello! I am not positive of this, however I believe that we likely cannot recolor Sponsor items.

Asking again, as I try to every Ask the Staff, when will the Halloween crafted Kin hatch?!? Sloth said before Spring. It's spring now and a LOT of us are anxious to see what it is. And I move in a month and won't be on much for most of this month or next because of it.

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have it hatch now!!!!!!!?


Hello there! I said it would be hatching in spring.
It should be hatching, very, very soon.

Are Sycamorte Seeds ever going to get those promised updates?

Last year, we were promised that the Sycamorte Seeds would be updated with Kin from old RIGs and such. No such thing has occurred.


They may be updated in the future!
AT this point however they will not be updated.

When we sell Kin from our shops, can we see their level in the description, just like we see it when looking at them in our inventories?

This would help people list the correct Kin in their shops and not accidentally list something they were wanting to keep.

Something we'll pass along for consideration!

Have the kins obtainable from Sycamorte Seeds and Phantom Sycamorte Seeds been changed? Have the drop rate of certain kins obtainable from the seeds been changed?


The kin obtainable from Sycamorte Seeds have not been changed.
They may be changed in the future however.

Would it be possible to update Sycamorte's battle animations to include one that makes it obvious when it uses a healing move?

As of right now the only tell we have is a blank animation and a "missed" attack. I know the numbers probably pop up, but since Sycamorte is so huge, you can never see the numbers pop off of it.


At the moment I don't believe this is possible. We're working on a lot of stuff. ;3; But perhaps in the future.

Can you guys please sell the Opal Ticket more often, sell it on sale more often, and allow an option whereby the buyer forfeits personal control of the ticket to let the whole Lake Kindred community decide through multiple staff-controlled votes on every aspect what the new Kin will be and look like -- in exchange for the Kindred having enough power to be on par with the Sakura Pegacorn Fluff? So, the staff would set up a thread where the users would vote on various aspects of the Kin, with the community thereby making decisions about the kin; but one person would have to provide the ticket -- I wouldn't mind saving up for that.

I think this would greatly excite the whole Lake Kindred community and let us collectively create an awesome kin, even if individuals such as me are edoing the buying.

Is this possible? Thanks!


Hello, I don't believe we will be making any kin that are as strong as Sakura Pegacorn Fluff.
It will continue to be the strongest. That being said, you still can have a kin designed by the community!

So as of late, I've been having help from the LK community in tracking what comes out of Sycamorte and Phantom Sycamorte Seeds. While tracking, I've noticed that within 3,952 Sycamorte Seeds and 431 Phantom Sycamorte Seeds, not a single pull of any of the "rare" kin have been mentioned. This has been making many people wonder if they are even in there still at all.

Would it be possible to get some kind of drop adjustment on these kin, or at least some verification as to what kin are considered "rare" pulls from the seeds?


I will see what I can do!

Will the Rainbow Evolution Seal be put into more RIGs in the future?


It likely might!
However it's more likely to be put directly in the Cash Shop. c:

Question:

So can you allot one more freedom to seal/opal winners allowing them to select element and base move pool?

example: fire element but paralysis moveset
or plant element but sleep moves

(you guys still get control but we get a little easter egg like freedom gem)


Unfortunately this is not doable. :C
Sorry about that.

Last question for the night and I swear I'm done pestering you guys until next week!

With the current rise in interest for the Opal Ticket (10 known users questing it currently), are there any plans for releasing the Opal in Flynn's Plunder or maybe even in CIs again in the future?

I love you guys, I swear. I'm just a really curious Lake Kindred player!


It will likely be in the Cash Shop.
I'm not sure about CIs or Flynns though.

Unfortunately no. They can only be recolored by Rainbow Seals. ;3;

Hello Staff redface
I was wondering if I would like to submit a ticket to change a current gaia item/companion into a kindred, which ticket would I be aiming for?
Thank you~


If I'm not mistaken, you'd want an Opal Ticket for this task!

What's the status of the daily prizes from the kindred team kins? They still give out a measly 500 gold every day.


We are working on getting these updated. <3

So a lot of us are finding that over time Lake Kindred gets a little...grindy. Are there any plans in the works to involve a social element on-screen, or maybe some new mechanics? Or should we consider Lake Kindred, for now, to exist as a largely finalized form?


At the moment we aren't looking into this, though it has been openly discussed many times, so perhaps in the future! <3

Are the encounter rates of wild kin different from user to user, or do we all have around the same chance to run into the same kin?


They should be the same for every user! They are all based on luck. C:

Hi there, thanks for all the hard work!

I understand that we've been told the Mysterious Kindred Egg will be revealed, to quote, "soon," but is there a set time frame for when this might occur?

...Again...

So get that each place has it's own boss, but to be quite honest, Sandman, Fafnir, and Castor don't really pose a challenge like ole' Phantom Morty.
Is there any plans for more actual bosses in other, or future areas of the game?

And also.
Taru and Kitsuko coming back this summer?


There are plans for more bosses in the future! <3

I'm not sure about Taru and Kitsuko though!

Thank you very much for revealing the Mysterious Egg!

I think this has been asked a long time ago, but will there be an option to name our kin at some point?


You're very welcome!

We are looking into the nicknaming capability at the moment. C:

Will you ever make an actual app for Lake Kindred?

It's kind of hard to play with a phone that has a semi-small screen when 1/4th of the screen is taken by the search bar on the web app.

It would be really cool if you guys did an app for Lake Kindred which is more user-friendly and phone-friendly(?).

I have an iPhone 5.


At the moment we are not working on one, but we may in the future! <3

can we get a notice of when sakura pegacorn fluff is re-released in cash shop? Thank you. Or a staff alert? gaia_kittenstar


Hello!
We release announcements when they are re-released into the Cash Shop!

A while back we were told that the starter kin might be getting a boost. Is that something that you guys are still considering? I feel bad for them since they just get pushed to the side.


We are still considering this, just looking for the right time to do it! c:
We have a lot of other exciting things in store, but they haven't been forgotten I promise! <3

Oh, Slothie~!
This one's for you, buddy.

Lake Kindred - Enemies and magic?
Do enemies have a magic bar?
Is it possible to deplete it?
Approximately how much magic does ole' Morty and Phantom Morty have?

Just trying to see if wither as it is now is even worth raising.
>__o
Y'know, until you give us some form of PvP arena for our kin. O:


Hello yess~.
Enemies do have a magic bar. And I believe that this is something we are considering adding in when we get the chance! <3
I'm not sure if Morty would appreciate me letting out his secrets though...

Can you please change the drop rates on these RIG kin and make them drop a bit more often??

When I hear people spending money buying 100+ RIGs to try and win one and end up failing, it's a little ridiculous.
I understand it is also THE pet of the RIG too, but please let more of us enjoy the new addition to LK when it's released.


Hello!

RIG kin are meant to be pretty rare! However, we will look into how often they drop. <3

Several times when I’ve tried to run away from battle it hasn’t let me. Is this a bug or an intentional feature? And if it’s intentional, why do you want us unable to run from battles sometimes?


Sometimes you just can't get away from your opponent, they're too fast. o:

Is there a reason Sleep and Paralyze effectively do the same thing? It’s a bit annoying and redundant for both status effects to deal the same result. Could you change them up maybe? Have one of them only last one round instead of two, or maybe still letting us use items or run away during one of them?


They both have different skills attached to them, so they are pretty different! We will see what differences they have in the future. C:

Can you please unsoulbind Charge Orbs? I keep getting them from Kin battles and levels, I don’t do Alchemy and selling them for 1 gold is effectively like getting no prize for winning a battle or level. I’d love the chance to trade or sell them to a fellow Gaian who’ll actually use them.


Unfortunately there is no way for us to unsoulbind Charge Orbs. However you can use them in alchemy to create orb aggregates and sell those.

In Lake Kindred is there a reason that poison is the only status effect that stays after a battle is over?


Because poison is the saltiest of the skills. ;3;
